Ain't gonna lie, ya host Greta Thun & Kickoberg had hoped my 2019 late pass playlist would've been a tad deeper than this by now. Oh well - at least I've discovered twelve legit jams I'd never heard before, rediscovered a couple of Mac Dre and Shady Nate tracks I'd sorta undervalued, and finally found CDQ versions of personal classics by Max B and Mic Terror. Plus, check me out lovin' a song featuring literal internet punchline Copywrite!
Never got round to postin' about Midi's Kool Is Chillen, so lemme explain it: basically, some raw 1987 drum-machine Rap outta Milwaukee that's a missing link between The Skinny Boys and The Bizzie Boyz. Thanx to Bob D for the assist on that one, hat tip to Big Sleep for the Filthy Phil tip off, and cheers to Step One for hookin' up the Alley High and Cam'Ron choons. My folks or wot?

Copywrite's first album is pretty good.
“My Folks” is my fav type of Mac Dre song. Laid back mellow beat and introspective rapping ala “Life’s a Bitch” or “Livin’ This Life”. Love the hyphy stuff but these types of songs can’t be beat IMO.
I concur.
I wish Dre & Khayree had dropped another EP together with some of the songs they did in '97/'97. Ideal tracklist would be this:
1. How I Got Tis Name
2. Back 2 My Mission
3. My Folks
4. Pawns In The Game
5. Feeling Like That N*gga
6. Livin' That Life
You have any more songs in the same vein from Mac Dre?
Like My Folks or from the general '96/'97 era?
Pawns In The Game is one of the realest songs ever, esp considering he made it right after a prison term. Feeling Like is a retrofit posthumous job though, verses are from elsewhere.
I made all these best of Dre comps by era n it felt genuinely impossible to cut it down to even one yr sometimes, the man couldn't do wrong.
One of my fav finds from doing that:

Mess Kinda washed him on it though "I heard Hitler was a killer n Frank ward was a Mack"
O rly? Replace Feeling Like That N*gga with What Cha Like then.
Similar to “My Folks”
Also replace Frank ward w Filmore Slim in my above comment, d'oh.
I think I'd like Feeling Like That N**** better than the og if the hook was about 4 times as long n didn't have the intro
I guess Since '84 would fall into that zone of Dre songs similar to My Folks.
"Side N@@@a" is still funny af.
